"According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control, San Diego is outpacing the nation with increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), especially among young people and men who have sex with men (MSM)."

I am not surprised. Gay men will never ever donate blood if we see HIV continue to rise. You think the general public will treat gay men like diseased second class men? If we continue on this path, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because we choose not to do anything about it.

At a time when Ian Thorpes come out or when the Tom Daleys come out, it is not enough. We need celebrities to endorse safer sex. It isn't just enough to ignore this problem.
